New life for Community Arts, Upton Park
Applecart Arts has taken over a run down community centre in Upton Park. We hope to renovate the centre, reducing its carbon footprint, and making it accessible and welcoming for the whole community.
About the Project Creator
Applecart Arts believes that stories are potent and have the power to challenge, change and strengthen communities.
The charity took over the struggling Harold Road Centre, saving it from closure, maintaining its important community outreach and introducing an arts programme which champions emerging artists and encourages social cohesion.
We recently completed our 'Shout Out' Theatre Festival providing a creative response to fear and hate as well as 'Inside Out' a film script written by young men in a young offender's prison and filmed by young people in Newham.
We work with social partners to provide space, mentoring and infrastructure to communities, organisations and individuals seeking to explore and celebrate our shared heritage.
